Uni-Ball UM-153 Signo Broad Point Gel Pen - White - by Uni-ball (Pack of 3)

i’m an artist and i love this pen. me and my creative friends constantly complain about posca pens, because they dry out way too fast and you can’t get the paint to come out of the nib, essentially making them useless after a few months. poscas also tend to flood all over the place. i didn’t know of any good alternatives because posca has always been the go-to, until i saw someone recommend uniball sigma broad so decided to try these out. i’m so glad i did! these pens are EXCELLENT for highlighting, accents, and white text. importantly, these pens can be LAYERED. to compare, trying to add an extra layer of posca pen on paper usually ends up tearing the paper, or you scrape away the layer you’ve already done. that doesn’t happen with the uniball! what i also love about the uniball pens is that by layering the ink to get a more opaque finish, it almost provides a sort of vinyl effect, and it adds some really cool texture! so you can either stick to one layer, or do multiple (see my pics) i tend to keep a tissue on hand to wipe the tip to keep it clear, and a blank sticky note so i can get the ink flowing again if i put it down for a few minutes. these pens are very smooth to write with, and ink flow is good. it’s easy to get the ink flowing again, even if the tip dries, and the pens do not dry out when not used for a period of time which is essential! these pens have no problem writing over the top of black ink too, they don’t bleed or anything. they perform well over pencil, as well as black, brown and white paper. i no longer have to worry about damaging the paper/my drawings when using these! the only downside i can note is that these pens are not immune to transfer if you’re drawing in a notebook, and your design might leave an imprint on the opposite page. this can be easily fixed by slotting in an extra bit of paper between pages, so just something to be aware of - again, see pics! safe to say, i’ll be repurchasing these pens for years to come! they’re an absolute staple.

Really pleased with these white gel pens from uni-ball. Though they are a little scratchy, the ink is really vivid and shows up very well on black card. They dry pretty quick too and have an overall good flow of ink. I received three pens in a clear plastic bag, rather than branded packaging, but I’m pretty certain these look to be Japanese imports having just returned from a trip there, so I’m pleased with that. I bought them for a single page in my journal, but have already used them much more! I did also notice the ink cartridges do not seem to be full to the end as another customer suggested, but I do not see this an issue. Overall very pleased, thanks

Happy with my purchase

I use this pen to add white details to my paintings, and it’s quickly become one of my favourite tools. The ink flow is impressively consistent—no skipping or scratching, even over textured watercolour paper or layered paint. The opacity of the white is excellent, which makes it perfect for highlights, line work, or subtle accents that really stand out against darker colours. It dries relatively quickly and doesn't smudge easily.

Very good quality. Bold white, writes/draws easily and smooth on dark coloured paper, card or envelopes.

Excellent for use on artwork for highlights, waves, tiny dots in eyes.....Great!

After seeing soany recommendations about these pen I was very disappointed.

These were highly recommended to me from a colouring group that I am in. I couldn’t wait for them to arrive and I wasn’t at all disappointed. They colour great on top of my alcohol based markers for highlighting areas. The pens are comfortable to hold and I’m pleased with their overall quality although they are my first set of white gel pens so I have no others to compare them to yet.

Me llamó la atención que un producto como la tinta correctora viniera en formato bolígrafo. Esta marca, UNI BALL, es para mí una garantía. Pues utilizo los bolígrafos desde hace tiempo. Y me he hecho adepto por su calidad de escritura y trazo perfecto. Digo "tinta correctora" y no tinta blanca, que quizá fueran términos más precisos, porque utilizo estos bolígrafos para ese menester y no para dibujar, como mucha gente. Son comodísimos. Tinta blanca muy fluida y brillante. Cubre muy aceptablemente bien. Y no deja grumos ni pegotitos que abulten el papel. Pueden escribir incluso sobre materiales lisos y brillantes tales como el plástico de una tarjeta de crédito o el cartón brillante del envase de productos comerciales. No puedo valorar la durabilidad porque escribo esto minutos después de recibirlos. Pero sí la calidad de la tinta y el aspecto que deja al escribir. Seca casi instantáneamente. En segundos. Muy interesante. Llegaron tres bolígrafos en un sobre de cartón de Amazon. Muy satisfecho. Como casi todo lo que adquiero aquí. Será que Amazon permite ser muy selectivo y hay mucho donde elegir. En este caso, de nuevo, los UNI BALL SIGNO UM-153, son absolutamente top.

Excelentes. Fluye muy bien la tinta. Era justo lo que andaba buscando para darle un toquecito a mis acuarelas

This pen is really good! the writing is smooth! the ink load on the paper is excellent! I loved it!

ok

Exactly what I wanted.
